T'Qali gets a pasting...again!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Simon (Maverick) and I managed to play a quick sortie over Malta during his visit.

Scamble, Scramble came the call and soon 3 Spits and 3 Hurri's were airborne.



The Luftwaffe were back and in strength!



Red flight break right, break right. The 3 Spitfires banked right to take on the ME109 cover.



Green flight break left, break left. The 3 Hurricanes banked left to take on the Heinkel bombers.



The Spitfires blasted past the ME109's, taking damage, causing some and hitting the bombers too.



1 bomber trailed smoke as the Spitfires streaked past but taking more damage from the bomber formation.



Both sets of fighters had looped over and now went head to head!



2 badly damaged Spitfires hurtled into the ground. The Hurricanes closed in slowly to slowly.





1 bomber down but 1 Hurricane too as the last Spitfire and 2 hurricanes tried in vain to stop the bombers hitting T'Qali airfield.



(Camera ran out of battery...just aswell for the bombers bombed the airfield, NAAFI and barracks!)

Only 1 Hurricane survived the onslaught as the remaing 2 bombers (with damage) limped home followed by the flight of ME109's!


Cheers Simon (Maverick) for an exciting game.

Note: T'Qali airfield was the most bombed airfield during WW2, I think it still holds that 'honour'. Now a small air museum it is well worth the visit should you ever get to Malta.

Nice one chaps ! What a thrilling AAR.

Fantastic job Neil and Simon. The desert Heinkels look great.

[grumpybear]

Nice one .What game mat did you use?

[Flying Helmut]

Great action, chaps!

I do like that deserty map!

[Setarius]

Nicely done.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

It is my original 2008 4x3 board I used at the Border Reiver show's for 3 years. It is sticky backed floor tiles with basic details painted on. Actually a WW1 board. The brown smear is where th
The trench line was.

Nice one .What game mat did you use?

[Nightbomber]

The game setting looks fabulous, Neil. Well done.
Ta-Qali airfield is an amazing place of historical interest for us, enthusiasts.
Being there in May this year I was taken aback by the fact, that despite the airstrip which is now covered by a huge stadium, the old tin barracks are still there. Most of them are adopted by local bussinesses and manufactureres, but they are there all around the place!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Yes Andy and the bus stops right there too. I think it was 1 or 2 down from the museum. Did they get the Swordfish put back together when you were there. It was just lying along the inside wall in the main hanger.

[Naharaht]

Thank you for the good AAR, Neil. It looks like you had an exciting time.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

We played 3 games, only this one was Wings orientated, and I was took to the cleaners in all 3!

What were the two others, Neil? Sails?

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Command and Colours Ancients and Bolt Action.

[Flying Helmut]

No, there was no sign of the plane that time, Neil. Pity, but I am sure it must be under restoration. Money is aleays a problem...

Here is the link to the Museum Album when I was there in 2015.

Nice report and let us know how the Command & Colors went. I have that et and the Napoleonic one. Haven't played the Napoleonic one yet.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Command and Colours Ancients. Carthage well and truly trounced by Rome. The cards just didn't go my way.

Bolt Action was a intro game to the rules for Simon. No points just a couple of sections and an HQ with Q team. I just got shot up in the assault. My mortar team couldn't hit a barn door (no spotter) but all in all some good games and lots of fun.
